Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented June 9, 1908.

Application filed July 31, 1907. Serial No. 386,403.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, KATHERINE CULVER, a citizen of the United States, residing at West Jordan, in the county of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a bottle of that class designed for convenience in packing for transportation and to be used as a container for poisonous liquids and drugs, whereby a person can readily` ascertain the nature of the contents of the bottle by feeling the shape thereof.

The invention has for one of its objects to improve and simplify the construction of bottles of this character, so as to be comparatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture, capable of being packed for shipment without danger of the stopper being loosened or the bottle broken and which is so shaped as to enable a person to readily know that the bottle is a container of poison.

I/Vith these objects in view and others, as will appear as .the description proceeds, the invention comprises the various novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, which will be more fully described hereinafter and set forth with particularity in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates one of the embodiments of the invention :HFigure l is a vertical longitudinal section of the bottle. Fig. 2 is a section taken at right angles to that of Eig. l. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the bottle.

Similar reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts in the several views.

Referring to the drawing, l designates the body of the bottle, which, by preference, is rectangular in general outline and has its front side concaved, as indicated at 2, so that a person taking the bottle up in the dark will readily know by the peculiar shape that the bottle contains poison. The upper front corner of the bottle is formed into a conical mouth 3, which is arranged below the top of the bottle and inwardly from the front so that when the stopper 4 is in place, the latter will be protected. By reason of the rectangular shape of the bottles, they can be closely packed in a suitable case for shipment and there is relatively little danger of the stoppers being loosened and the bottles broken.

A bottle of the character shown is convenient to handle and the contents can be readily poured out and, furthermore, person previously knowing that a bottle of this particular shape contains poison, will, upon taking up the bottle be immediately warned by the peculiar shape that it contains a poison.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the construction and method of operation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while I have described the principle of operation of the invention together with the device which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made when desired as are within the scope of the claims.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed, is 1- l. A bottle comprising an approximately rectangular body having a concavo-convex front face, a mouth at one of the upper corners of the body located below the top surface and inwardly from the front and at one end of the concavo-convex wall of the bottle, and a stopper in the mouth disposed below the top surface of the body.

2. A bottle comprising an approximately rectangular body having a curved front wall extending short of the top of the bottle to provide a corner recess, a conical mouth at the recess and extending upwardly to a point short of the body and located at one end of the wall, and a stopper in the mouth located below the top surface and inwardly from the side and front faces of the body.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
